PATENT JOHN DAY, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK.

RING FOR CURTAIN-POLES.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 236,487, dated January 11, 1881.

Application filed December 9, 1880.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, JOHN DAY, of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented an Improvement in Rings for Curtain-Poles, of which the following is a specification.

Curtain-rings for poles have been made of wire and other material in a complete unbroken ring, that always had to be slipped endwise upon the pole. Some of the curtain-poles have ornamental ends that interfere with slipping on the rings or their removal, when necessary.

My invention relates to a curtain-ring made open, of a strip of metal bent up into a circular form, and the curtain connected to the ends.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of the ring edgewise of the metal strip. Fig. 2 is a similar view with the ends of the strip bent off radially. Fig. 3 is a side view of the ring shown in Fig. 1, and Fig. 4 is a similar view of the ring shown in Fig. 2.

The strip of metal a is of a more or less ornamental character. It may be corrugated or ribbed, or made with openings 1) in the metal of an ornamental shape, or both, and said strip is of the proper width and length. The said strip is bent up into the form of a ring or short cylinder, and the ends are not soldered or brazed together, but capable of being separated, so that the curtain-ring may be opened and sprung over the curtain-pole in cases where the same can be applied in this manner more easily than by slipping the ring endwise over the pole. The sheet metal is perforated near the ends of the strip at c, and the parts are brought together for the suspending Wire hook or loop e to pass through.

(No model.)

In Figs. 1 and 3 the ends of the metal are lapped, so that the whole bandis cylindrical. In Figs. 2 and 4 the end portions are bent off, so as to come side by side and perpendicular to the ring, the holes 0 coinciding, so as to receive the hook or loop 0 by which the curtain is suspended.

A small sheet-metal eyelet may be used to hold the parts of the ring at the perforation, if desired, as shown in Figs. 2 and 4, or as in Figs. 1 and 3. The ends may be connected by a rivet that is made with an eye for the hook or loop 0.

I claim as myhwention- 1. The curtain-pole ring made of sheet metal bent into a circular form, the ends perforated, and receiving through the perforation the suspending hook or loop, substantially as set forth.

2. A curtain-pole ring made of sheet metal bent into a circular form, and the end portions perforated for the reception of the curtain-suspending device, and openings out in the sheet metal to ornament the ring, substantially as set forth.

3. The curtain-pole ring made of sheet metal, perforated near the ends, bent up into a circular form, and the ends brought together and occupying a perpendicular position to the circle, substantially as set forth.

Signed by me this 6th day of December, A. 70 D. 1880.

JOHN DAY.
